People were not satisfied with the look on their leader's face, he was very confused about the whole situation, sure they didn't rage at him but they were upset and they lose faith in his plans .

" You say that you want to protect us, but instead of doing that you killed 20 of us already under your protection" A mage from district 4 said.

Yogev knew that he would encounter such a rejection when he jeopardize their lives in such a situation, and fixing things was not something easy when it comes to death

He was already the reason for so many deaths and that only connected his name with blood

" As your leader, I am doing my best to keep you safe"

"Not enough, only two months since the beginning of the next triple full moons and we are still living outside, let's forget about that for a second, think about this, if we get attacked by the other ones during this period we would be defenseless, and we would be so easy to kill "

Yogev was not in a state of mind to talk to anyone, he knew already that he messed up things, he ruined a lot of things, but their looks felt like a constant reminder, he felt like he was pressed in a corner all by himself while surrounded by enemies

His people felt like they were his enemies, they were all waiting for him to fall, they challenged him, they acted needy all the time, and wanted him to create miracles in the middle of chaos.

' All I wanted was to protect my people and here I am being blamed for every wrong time as if I know all the answers, well I don't know anything, I don't know a single thing, but I am trying yet ...it is not enough and it will never be'

" It was Emperium's divine energy!" A voice said from afar .

Yogev turned around immediately because he knew the owner of that voice, he smiled automatically .

It was Heigl who came back after a month of disappearance, he was still the pale physically-weak teenager however, something around him changed.

He looked older and tan than before, Yogev waved at him the moment he saw him, however, Heigl didn't do the same, he just kept moving toward him with an almost faded smile.

"You came back, I thought that you never would, especially when you told me you hate me "

Yogev ignored completely the fact that he was cornered by everyone else there, and walked toward him with a welcoming warm smile, Yogev had beautiful ocean eyes with a dark hair, he looked very handsome, and he had a very well built*body due to his working in their farm back in district 2 .

He was much taller than everyone, and also stronger than his weak people, and loved by his people, that is why they chose him to represent them first.

" It has been a long time, did you manage to do what you wanted to do ? "

"Are we going to wait for your reunion? " One of the mages said.

Heigl didn't change his facial features as he said:" You need to be more respectful to your leader"

The mage backed off because he realized that he might be punished now that Heigl mentioned it to the leader.

They all knew that this boy was special to their leader and that he trusted him with his life, and that is why he left him and chose where he stay unlike all of them

Yogev turned around to look at that mage, he was very upset by his behavior now that Heigl himself said so, yet he didn't do anything to him, he just glared at him very angry then said:" Make sure to bury their bodies in a very respectful way, they sacrificed for us to be safe, we are all in this together, no one would know when things happened, you are doing your best and so do I, it was not your loss alone, they are my people, my people that I promised to take care of"

Another mage said:" Maybe we should just stay outside the castle, clearly we are never going to be there with our low powers, what do you think ? "

"This serves as a good plan b, okay, I will consider it, and I will see how to realize it, in the meantime, we will stop trying to break the spell because clearly, things are not as we thought they "

What Yogev said didn't satisfy the majority of them, but they all knew that it was not his fault, how could he predict that the divine energy around the castle would kill them in that way .

The mages went to take the dead ones into another place to tell everyone what happened there while Yogev walked fast toward Heigl saying:" How come you didn't greet me when you came after a month of disappearance, I thought we are friends"

" What killed those mages was the divine energy, there are types of energies, each region has its type, and the one around the castle didn't belong to Delwias Island and that is why when they absorbed it they got killed , in fact, they were not killed, the problem was when they absorbed that divine energy their body couldn't handle the changes.historical

How to explain it?, we are adjusted to work with this energy, the one they absorbed is not meant for our bodies"

" How do you know that? "

" I can't tell you"

" You were the one who mentioned that this place was safe because of this power " Yogev said

" Are you trying to blame me? Or do you think I mentioned it on purpose to make you sacrifice your life and your people? Is this what you are referring to ?"

Heigl was so pissed with what he just heard, that he turned around and tried to walk away when he felt someone stopping him from doing that.

He turned around only to find Yogev tying him with a magical rope made out of his divine energy

"Clearly, I can't do anything without you "
